Muturi Asks MPs to Treat Colleagues Who Lost in the Nominations with Compassion

Justin Muturi, the National Assembly Speaker, has asked Members of Parliament who emerged victorious in the party primaries to treat their colleagues who lose with compassion. Muturi made this appeal as the House began the last lap of its last leg.

The smiling Speaker avoided his usual digs that he makes while correcting MPs. Perhaps, that’s because he has lost in an election in the past.

“Even as you make references to what happened to your colleagues, do it with compassion. It is not good to be told to your face that you have been massacred,” said the Speaker.

Muturi intervened in his effort to protect the nominations losers after Johana Ngeno, the MP for Emurua Dikirr, mocked his colleagues who lost in the primaries while contributing to a parliamentary debate.
